Overnight Accommodations

Why is the Temple Door Shut?

The temple door is shut and locked from 1:30pm to 3:30pm daily. Outside these times, sometimes Panditji shuts the front door to keep the heat inside. If Panditji is not inside the Temple from 9:30am to 1:30pm or 3:30pm to 6:00pm, ring the large temple bell by the front door; he will likely come down shortly.

How do I Volunteer?
